It‑TARGET kienet is‑sinsla tas‑sistema finanzjarja tal‑euro, u kienet l‑istrument għall‑implimentazzjoni tal‑politika monetarja unika tal‑Eurosistema. Eventwalment, fid‑19 ta' Novembru 2007, it‑TARGET, li kienet pjattaforma deċentralizzata, ġiet sostitwita minn pjattaforma unika komuni msejħa TARGET2.

Since the establishment of the European Economic Community in 1958, the movement towards a more integrated European financial market was marked by several events, the most visible of which were undoubtedly the launch of the euro in 1999, and the cash changeover in the first euro area countries in 2002. Less visible, but also of great importance, was the establishment of the central banks' large-value payment system, known as TARGET, on 1 January 1999. TARGET provided the backbone of the financial system in euro, and was the implementation tool for the Eurosystem's single monetary policy. Eventually, on 19 November 2007, TARGET, which was a decentralised platform, was replaced by the single shared platform called TARGET2.
